Should the gum on this issue be a dark yellow and there are some tiny brown spots, should I keep this stamp or does it have something wrong with it I paid some $40.00 for it.
re: Gum on the 1922 Ireland Overprints Seahorse Issue
The gum is what is referred to as "crazed" or "crackled. If it were my stamp, and if I had kept it so long I couldn't return it as you have, then I would soak off the gum if it bothers you.
